Definitions

Our company registration number 15711573, registered in England and Wales. The term 'Data Provider' or 'user' or 'you' refers to the user trying to list data on our marketplace.
Platform Fees & Commission Schedule
Opendatabay applies a tiered commission structure on all dataset sales, API calls, and data access fees. The commission decreases as the transaction value increases, ensuring better rates for higher-value sales. After deducting the platform fee, the remaining balance is paid out to the Data Provider.
Please note: All fees are based on individual dataset prices and not on monthly or cumulative sales.
